Cost and pricing of Cloud Servers in Africa

The cost of a cloud is dependent on the cost of the data center infrastructural setup.
Cloud infrastructure development in Africa is lagging behind when compared to infrastructure in other continents.
Some of the cloud infrastructure elements considered while pricing include:

1. Availability and cost of reliable power
2. Availability and cost of Reliable Internet
3. Availability of Data Center Rack space
4. Local Country Taxation
5. Availability of skilled labor
6. Cost of Data Center Technology

Cloud costs in Africa are as follows – top 3 (country) cheapest cloud services are as follows
1. Cloud Services in South Africa – 1 Rack + Power @ USD 2000
2. Cloud Services in Kenya 1 Rack + Power @ USD 2400
3. Cloud Services in Ghana 1 Rack + Power @ USD 2900

These are prices of cloud infrastructure as available from Cloudpap.
